Could you provide a link or screenshot of this, please? I'm looking on the German forums but can't seem to find it.

I already have all the maelstrom weapons, normal and perfected, so I do not care about those, but... I really want to use this event to fill the sticker book for the other sets there...
... I am assuming that the other sets also get double drops, can anyone attest to that?

Yes, every phase completion chest on normal dropped 2 blue and one purple armor pieces. Final chest was one Perfected purple, 2 normal MA weapons, one purple auxiliary set weapon, and 2 blue auxiliary weapons (one weapon one shield in my case).
Another (related) topic: Is anyone also getting multiple gold event coffers per day for the Imperial City dailies? Is this also a bug or intended?
These are unfortunately the most time-efficient dailies and I habitually do one IC daily per toon. I already did three before noticing they all get gold coffers and I am a bit worried now.
Or is it intended that you get one per toon?
Edit @ZOS_GinaBruno Is it ok when I keep doing the dailies, but keep the gold coffers unopened in inventory, so you can delete them later if you want to? I'm mostly doing these dailies for the double Tel Var coffers.
Edit2: I've been peaking at the coffer content (without taking out anything), and I haven't seen a gold style page yet... is it possible that it's just a visual bug and the coffers actually drop purple loot?
I should add that I also got two normal MA weapons, meaning I ended up with FOUR weapons on one run. Two normal and two perfected. I'm not complaining, but I'm not sure that's what was meant by double weapon drops lol. Would love it if ZOS decided to keep it as is for the event. Pretty please?
I can see why casual players favor these kinds of things, they like the game to be easy and get easy rewards. Most of them use their gaming time building houses and picking flowers anyway. That is ok of course, but in this case their point really does not matter.
Some people claim they do not care how other people get their gear or advance in this game because they themselves have every item and have done every content and seems like they feel like they are above the rest anyway. I really do not care about these opinions either.
Truth is: In this game there are items that are tied to specific content. Why there would be different model drops from normal vs. vet arenas if it was not intentional that to get the better gear you must achieve a certain skill level. What is the point learning the game, setting up optimal gear setup etc. unless you are rewarded by doing so with something that only players of equal skill level can have. For example: In another mmorpg game world of warcraft-legion expansion there was this theme of multiple legendary items. It was horribly executed as you could get these legendary items even from picking a flower. A flower.. So there were these people who only played Wow to grind in-game gold and one of those ways was picking ores and flowers. And some of these people managed to get multiple legendary items (best items in the game at that time) before someone who was doing pvp content, running raids, running dungeons.. That expansion saw the biggest loss of veteran wow gamers who just stated that blizzard went too far in rewarding everyone with such stuff.
Getting practically free gear rewards too easily ruins the whole idea of how these games work where your gear setup is essential tool in your gameplay and how well you perform. Yes, skill first, but I think we can all agree that gear is what makes the numbers after you learn the rotations and what skills to use and how the fight mechanism works and what are the boss/trash tactics. Anyone who says gear does not matter is straight out liar.
I feel stupid if some gear piece that I worked hard to get, learned the tactics, built optimized setup and so on, and then comes some event where other people can get the same item with random setup, not knowing tactics and just smashing buttons. Because normal modes can be done pretty much eyes closed.
You can have your opinion, I have seen that no matter what was the topic and how it seems that there should be only one answer, there are always those who disagree and just have to get the say that "you are wrong". I have played these games all my life, I know what I am talking about. I do agree that there should be something for everyone and everyone needs to get their satisfaction with rewards, but there also should always be a clear line drawn with the rewards of harder content vs. easier content. Otherwise, what is the point?

That's the first I hear about something like that. Care to elaborate for me?Those of us that grinded DSA to death already had all the perfected gear. Then ZOS took it away with a single update, along with all our perfected gear from VMA.
When I first heard about the perf drop thing I planned to go at least 1 nMA per day during event and multiple on Saturday and Sunday. Now I don't know. Either way I do plan to go for achievement for vet some time later.further maelstrom runs - or lack of thereoff for the duration of the event will be dependent on wether we get confirmation on the exploit bit or not.

I think regardless of what we think about the fairness or lack thereof regarding the current predicament clear, unambiguous communication should be forthcoming.
